MANILA, Philippines -- Following his strong statements on the junking of the anti-terrorism bill, Kobe Paras expressed intent to raise bail for arrested protesters in Cebu.
Police arrested seven protesters at UP Cebu during a demonstration against the anti-terrorism bill for allegedly violating quarantine measures.
Paras, who plays for the UP Fighting Maroons, took to Twitter to air out his sentiments on the issue and pledged help for those arrested.
I saw the news in Cebu about my fellow isko and Iskas.
